"Easy to Adapt"

pitbullsfamily

This kit goes together rather easily, as the kit builds up like a layer cake. Each story has it's four walls cast as one unit. Unfortunately, this makes it much more difficult to use it to build a background flat. It is however, a very typical looking masonry building that lends itself to almost any application. The detailing parts allow the builder to give it a little bit of individuality. It is nice to have the fire escapes, even if they are a little thick in their cross sections. At this price, I recommend giving it a try and seeing what it inspires you to make it into.

"Downtown Hotel Review"

TJet500 (New Jersey)

Agree with other reviews, excellent kit, easy to assemble. Really needs no painting except for awnings and weathering. Could use more awnings. Decal sheet is a plus with extra signs. Good roof detail.

"Fantastic model for the beginner - or hobbyist without much time"

travis.getz

What this kit lacks in detail, it makes up for in simplicity of construction and speed of building. The kit can be built out of box, with no modifications and look great. The windows/doors cannot be positioned, but this is not a major concern for most folks in my experience. I added interior detail and lighting and it looked great - plenty of room in the model for it. The awnings are a nice touch, but take note that the red stripes are not pre-painted or provided in decal or sticker form - you have to paint them on yourself.

"Better than other more expensive kits"

ronwalk38

This was a great kit; much better than some others more expensive kits; after opening the kit to inspect, there was virtually no molding flash, all the parts where straight, and accounted for. The direction was very clear and easy to follow. This was a basic kit that went together very easily and did not require much skill to complete. The building is molded with a nice brown brick texture and several roof accessories and some signage. This is a great looking building with thick walls and pieces that take paint well. I would recommend this kit for any scenery.
